I waited until the attic cooled and spent a few more productive minutes up there. More Attic Dek in place and I found the coaxial cable that I want to use to pull a new data line and use as a defacto tv aerial (it won't be attached to an external antenna, the cable itself will be the antenna up in the attic.) There is a really long chunk of the coax cable inside the wall and with duct tape and string and CAT5 I can accomplish what I want easily.

I have to follow the wall header for two of the bedrooms in the attic and find the right place to drill through and run a piece of CAT5 for data in the sewing studio. The room at the front was my son's (it's now the guest room) and I wired that years ago when he was the only kid at home by then and it didn't matter if he was on the computer in the living room or his bedroom.

I might as well wire all of the rooms - I have the materials, I have the time, and when the time comes these will be obsolete because everything will be all WiFi all of the time. But for now, faster streaming and better pictures in any room where someone takes a device that can use the connection.

This afternoon I cleaned up some of the plant saucers by the side door then took a bucket of leaves to the compost area where I relocated the black compost bin and dumped in some recent weeds and poured in the 10 gallon bucket of sawdust from the forestry work last week. It's a great way to kick start the pile. That bin was put in the last spot two years ago and now there is a beautiful pile of compost ready to use.
